For all the confusion people have, I love this at the end, "The statements today from Apple do not totally go against Steve Jobs' announcement at Apple Expo Paris that all new Macs would only boot into Mac OS X in 2003. In his keynote address Jobs said that all new Macs built in 2003 would boot into OS X only -- Apple's statements today say they will offer certain configurations of their current product to customers that still want the OS 9 booting option." Pretty much the way I interpretted it the first time - So the new/current models being assembled right now (which WILL still be manufactured in early 2003) will still boot to 9. The 'New' machines built in 2003 will boot X only. I want a 'New' machine already! bubye Quirk! I guess next summer is my next target.
